No data conntection

This is what I did.

1.) Flashed my phone back to Stock S-ON usine this link.

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1009423

when you reboot the phone make sure you wait until you get a 3G/4G signal. If you start the process of setting up your phone too quick it will cause your phone not to activate the data connection.

2.) ROOTED my phone and at each boot made sure I had 3G/4G connection before setting up phone. (Downgrade and Upgrade).

3.) This let me keep my data connection all the way through.

*Note This was posted also

Missing or Poor Data

After root you lost quality of your data connect, or lost it completely.

Solutions:

1) Try to shutdown and pull the battery, if this doesn't work more to the next solution.

2) Factory reset the device from clockwork recovery (you will still be rooted afterwards), this is data destructive.

Success!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ksgoh88:
Worked like a charm. Did however have to kill rooter.exe after every step as it errored every time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tco05:
Uggggh....uninstalled sync/adb...started over. Got to where it asked me to rename the old RUU and put it on the SD card...but my comp won't recognize the SD card as a drive, even after changing from "charge" to "disk drive".

Going to restart my comp and try again. I'm not in any danger of anything closing out at this point, am I?

EDIT: Nvm...got it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tco05:
I should have known today was not going to be my day.

So I put the old RUU on my SD Card as PG05IMG.zip...got to the screen, hit power on the bootloader....it went through the text and it seemed like it didn't see the zip. It progressed to the next screen and and I hit the power button on recovery and wound up with the phone and triangle/exclamation point screen.

I wonder why it didn't see zip...

DUH...stupid mistake. Same mistake I made with the DInc... zip.zip.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adboogies:
I think I rooted successfully, but get a security warning in the bootloader when trying to flash a rom, s- is on and supposed to be off correct?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tco05:
Alright...so I screwed up the process. Didn't get root/s-off. So I followed the instruction to return to stock, but I can't.

When I go adb shell

$ su

I get

su

su: permission denied

After messing up the one click, my baseband is 1.02.00.0103_2r and my software is 1.03.605.10.

Do I just need to reflash PG05IMG_Mecha_VERIZON_WWE_1.12.605.6_Radio_1.16.00.0223r_NV_8k_1.41_9k_1.64_release_174685_signed as PG05IMG from the bootloader?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SerialKilla:
Trying to DL the PG05IMG.zip, but I keep the error:

! C:\Users\SERIAL~1\AppData\Local\Temp\PG05IMG.zip: Unexpected end of archive

Any ideas? I successfully DL'ed the RUU file.... Tried the PG05IMG 3 times with the same result.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dzylzzrd:
I can't get the ruu downgrade zip to extract. it keeps saying that the folder's empty. that's all i lack to begin this unlocking.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jcase:
RUU zip files should not be extracted, please re-read the tutorial. If you extracted the first one, then you will need to start at step1.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dexterousgurl:
Worked great for me! Thank you so much! =)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JWMayes:
Where is my option to go to bootloader? I am to that part and I cant find it when I hit the power button.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] arasky:
where exactly do i extract the exploits folder to? my sdk is at c:\sdk

I'm getting after the 2nd yes i want to continue, 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program of batch file
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
when it says go to bootloader if you hit enter it should run

adb reboot bootloader

extract to c:\sdk\platform-tools or wherever ADB.exe is located
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JWMayes:
Yup, thanks! Got it!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JWMayes:
Alright, this is just great. The second time the phone was supposed to reboot into bootloader to flash the other image, my phone came unplugged. None the less, I finished the root process and it said it was finished. But now, titanium back up says it doesnt have root rights. Superuser seems fine, and I flashed CW fine too. What is going on?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Try flashing the SU fix, --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1003088

SU doesnt always work properly on Sense devices
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JWMayes:
Got it, I forgot about busy box. Woohoo!! Roooted!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
No problem :) Enjoy!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] egeorgia:
Okay, I got the first RUU to flash. It wiped phone and rebooted. Now it says cannot stat 'hbooteng.nb0': no such file or directory
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
That means you do not have hbooteng.nb0 in your sdk directory
[Thunderbolt Android Development] egeorgia:
So now what ? I rebooted it and don't have root. Not sure where to go now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JustinD2473:
I went through all the steps....and my phone doesnt have root or S-Off.

Followed these steps to try to fix it and it didnt work.

Not sure what to do now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adboogies:
Well I definitely have root, but don't have s-off and I can't get a rom to install.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Nicaragüense:
Well, that was a mission, I started the root process, then halfway I began getting calls from everyone on my damn contacts list it seemed.. lol.. the phone bugged out.. and I thought OH crap.. I hope it still works.. but it didnt(root didnt, phone was fine).. SO I went into bootloader and installed the proper version(img) so I could start the process all over again.. the second time I tried it all worked well, except for not getting data after getting root.. I did a factory reset, and VIOLA!! data works, and I have root.!!! Thank You.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Sesso:
There is an issue with no data when you have a new install... even out of the box. VZW is working on it. factory reset is their fix. It happened to mine. :P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] trixxstyles:
Thanks to CK great tool to root with was a painless ordeal 2 thumbs way way up :D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CheeseMcGee:
W00t for R00t!!! :D

For those having an issue were you went through the process yet didn't root, you may have the same issue I had the first time around.

On the FIRST boot into recovery, press power for the bootloader to load and then check PG05IMG.zip. After that, you may have to press up volume to allow it to update, this is the only way that it will flash the rom to the phone.

Mine didn't automatically flash the first time and although I saw the text about arrow up or down for update I, in much fear :confused:, hit the down arrow (because it didn't say that you may have to do that in the instructions, and I was a bit nervous about screwing something up).

Thanks TeamAndIRC and Captainkrtek
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Glad it worked for you!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TDevilsG:
Hey Guys,

I attempted to root my phone using this method and it looks like things didn't work out. I apologize if I come off as sounding like a n00b, but well... I am. :) I believe my error occured when I failed to rename the new zip file. None of my data was wiped, and the phone appears to be no worse off than before starting the process.

I believe I ran into the same problem as the one shown below:

At this point I do not have superuser permissions and I'm wondering if I can just try the process over again? I opened up the one click rooting method script again and at the first step where it says, "If the above number ends in 605.6 or 605.9 then you can root, IF NOT THEN YOU CANNOT ROOT USING THIS METHOD," the "above number" referenced has the following message: "'adb' is not regonzied as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

Do I have to factory reset the phone since it doesn't seem to recognize the version 605.6 (which it did during the first attempt)? Any suggestions? Thank you so much!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superdusto:
Ok so I searched this post and there is no direct answer. I have found like three different links on the beginning steps to pre rooting (SDK ADB) can I have a link to the most up to date post.. I currently have done this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009419 and am downloading the one on your page. Just don't want to brick the beauty
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pacedrum69:
is there a faster way...

...to get the files needed to root?? My computer sucks , and it will take all night to download all the files needed... Can someone wend me the files i need thru email?? I need the RUU , and the PMG file as well?? Is this possible?? Im kin of a noob (have rooted3 different droids , for what ever thats worth)...Any help would be awesome...Thanks in advance
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Email would be the same (probably worse) speeds as even if the files are on the email server you still have to download it from the server. Unless your server and your home net are linked via fiber than you'll have to download the normal way.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] howarmat:
applied earlier today...everything went great! thanks again for this. :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Orio56:
I went thru the whole program, but I did not gain root. Can I just run it again?

Also my software version is now 1.03.605.10
[Thunderbolt Android Development] egeorgia:
On the version .10. I believe the answer is no. you have to put the stock PMG file back on there and start over.

My problem is this: I got S off, but no root privileges. Now what?

What a headache. I am about to throw in the towel until something else comes along. It seems that it's easy. Not sure what's up. Well, any help on the S off issue would be appreciated.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superdusto:
Sorry for my above post... Newb.. So I think I did what someone else did and my files were named .zip.zip my phone never wiped through out the whole rooting program. Should I go through the un-root steps or just restart the program? my phone said S-on
[Thunderbolt Android Development] superdusto:
Decided to go for it.. So far S is now off and waiting for the update

Just installed Virus! Thank yous go out to everyone!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Yes you need to downgrade to a lower version like .6 or .9

Sorry to hear about the issues, there are many places that can go wrong in any one click root method (IE: ADB issues, misread instructions, bad files, etc.) If you need help PM me a log of what you've tried and Ill try to help you to the best of my abilities
[Thunderbolt Android Development] aestibar:
Thanks for your hard work! successfully rooted my fiancee and friends' thunderbolt through this method.

p.s. i wish you released this before i had to self teach my self ADB a week and a half ago ;)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Sidewind75:
Hello I just got the thunderbolt and I'm loving it. I rooted sub the following method and things went smoothly. However I have absolutely no.data connection unless I hook up to.WiFi how do I do this

Thans in advanced
[Thunderbolt Android Development] CheeseMcGee:
Try going to Settings -> SD & Phone Storage, and do a factory data reset. Worked for me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nmyeti:
thank you for this. It worked perfectly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] iwanaleya:
Hahaha ditto, and another thanks for your hard work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] egeorgia:
I appreciate the offer. I think I need to be able to do chat or on the phone to go through it. I believe it stems from adb and getting the exploits right. There are so many items that pop up on the screen when it is going through the process. I don't know what would be a red flag. I see the obvious stuff.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] gmam23:
so its says s off ,everything seemed fine but went to download superuser and rommanager and it says not root permissions ? need to update su zip file ? where can i get this .thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TDevilsG:
So now that my phone seems to recognize my software version as "adb', does that mean that I need to downgrade as well? And if thats the case, can you recommend how to downgrade? Thank you!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Robertjm:
downgrade RUU or not?

OK so I am confused on something. Several posts in this thread mention downgrading the RUU. HOWEVER, there's a sticky at the top of this forum from CaptainKrtek that advises NOT downgrading.

Are these two separate thjngs and I should ignore the sticky? Or are there updated instructions forthcoming?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] vahustla4lyfe:
am i supposed to be in the bootloader when all of this is going down or what? My phone went throught this whole process yesterday and i have no root. So my question is when i start this am i just supposed to be on a regular screen or in the bootloader and it its the bootloader then how do i get to it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] vahustla4lyfe:
anyone????
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SocalLX:
I am more than a little confused

I am now more reluctant than ever to start messing with this phone. It is probably just me but it seems way harder to customize than other phones I have owned. It seems that this phone requires more experience to mod and customize and I dont want to brick this phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
It is pretty simple you just have to follow the instructions and make sure everything is setup. We dont have a 100% one click root method as it requires some manual flashing from the bootloader.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SocalLX:
Thanks for the reply. I guess what sets me off is the kernel, RUU, boot loader, root. I would like to flash a new ROM (Virus looks great) but need to read and re-read everything leading up to it.

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
OK, I think I need a little help. Im on the part where I put the second PG05IMG on my sd card. Flashed through recovery and rebooted. Now it's been stuck on

"This process may take some time

adb server is out of date, killing

daemon started successfully"

It's done nothing at this point for about 10 minutes now. Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] JWMayes:
Ok, on with what Breakthecycle2 said, when I got to that part, my phone came un plugged and never went to the bootloader, when I plugged it back in, it said rooted. And I am rooted now, but I have wiped the data several times to try to fix my data problems, and when doing so, I go to the market and its the old market. Should I flash the new RUU that was supposed to be flashed in the process but never was? Could this also be affecting my data problems? Every time my phone switches from wifi/3g/4g, the data doesnt work and i have to reboot the phone. I am even using the phone info to turn the 4g off like i did before root and its not even doing anything, the phone is still going into 4g. I wish I didnt do this.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Breakthecycle2:
Everything installed fine until that part. Nothing got installed. I am not rooted. Like I said, he just stopped at that one part and never did anything after that. What did I do wrong or what do I need to do differently?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] SomeoneE1se:
It's only simple if you already understand what's happening, if you have no idea what you're doing it can be intimidating.

But I also agree with you that it's simple, perhaps we can make it a little less confusing if we can provide the expected output for each step. If something deviates the know they need to come to the irc for help. I'd do it but I don't have my TB yet
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
I plan to make it simpler in the next week as I will be on vacation :)
[Thunderbolt Android Development] smoody:
it warns to not downgrade below 1.12.605.6 (stock) after initial root.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joecredible1:
yeah, so I got this far and now nothing is happening.

Can someone help me out here please?

any help would be greatly appreciated! :confused:

Got it working after some further playing around, thanks to everyone!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mandroid2010:
Mine is saying " Main Version is older !

Update Fail !

Press (Power) to reboot

This is the RUU that you need to rename any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] DNak206:
Mine got stuck or froze on a couple of occasions, I had to disable USB debugging and re-enable it, seemed to unclog it. Good luck, I'm hopefully near the last step of mine.. I am a good 40 mins into this, I must be that wii-todd-id. >.<
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mandroid2010:
I just want to get rid of this bloat. Redownloading RUU now hope it works.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] joecredible1:
okay just kidding, one last question. I finally got to the end and it says I am rooted, flash SU, blah blah blah.

But I install SU and it says there's a new version and it places it on the SD card for me to flash because it wouldn't install automatically?

Alright no big deal, I flashed stuff all the time with my DiNC, but.....

One problem, how the heck do I get back to the bootloader in order to flash the .zip?

Anyone? :o
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
You don't have hbooteng.nb0 in your sdk directory
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mandroid2010:
ClockworkRecovery must be installed
[Thunderbolt Android Development] mandroid2010:
Man i wish i knew what was wrong works fine but fails to load the RUU that you have to rename. It checks and says this is a older version then fails whats a suggestion to get this to work ??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] rafaelvelasquez2:
How bout a step-by-step???

I feel like I'm trying to read Chinese blueprints.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Funzy32:
I am also stuck where when you rename the First RUU. Boots into bootloader and i hit power and then it says not a valid image in green. I am on Windows 7 64 bit. maybe thats whats wrong? not sure. Evrything works though as far as the one click method except the image. Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Make sure you have the right file and didn't rename it to PG05IMG.zip.zip or that it isn't a corrupt download
[Thunderbolt Android Development] T41NT204:

This was smooth as silk for me when I ran this on another Thunderbolt. Thank you so much for your time and for putting this together!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] catalyst105:
This is where I'm at the second time around. The first attempt, I got to where it says to contact chat.andirc.net and not to reboot (which was pictured earlier in this thread). I have the exploits.zip in the sdk\platform-tools folder where adb.exe is located.

Mt first attempt, I renamed the long named file to PG05IMG and placed it in the only drive that showed up on my PC which should be the SD card right?

Any help, or am I confusing everybody?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
You dont have psneuter, busybox, etc in your SDK directory... place them there and retry
[Thunderbolt Android Development] catalyst105:
Is it included in the galaxysense link? Do I place it in the platform-tools folder or just in the main sdk folder?

Edit: I downloaded both busybox and psneuter zips and placed them in the main sdk folder, didn't work, and then dragged them into the platform tools folder and still didn't work. Did I read somewhere that chat.andirc can do this remotely?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] catalyst105:
Alright, I got to the point in the image below. I have both the busybox and psneuter zips in the C:\sdk\platform-tools folder (still can't find it). When I get to the bootloader, the phone says "Main version is older! Update Fail! Press <Power> to reboot." Note: Phone is set to charge only.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dkyle:
Tried this twice already. Everything seems to work fine. I get the message saying its now rooted, and to install superuser and rom manager. Then rom manager says I need to root my phone.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cocoabro:
2nd PG051MG.zip?!?!?

So far the process has been smooth, but I'm at the step of copying the 2nd PG051MG.zip to the SD card. I still don't understand how to copy a second file with the same name as an existing file to the directory without renaming or deleting the first one. In Windows 7, if I select 'Copy, but keep both files', it automatically renames the 2nd PG051MG.zip to PG051MG (2).zip. Is this correct? I just don't understand how to have two files with the same name in the same directory at the same time...:confused:

Thanks in advance.

*EDIT: I got impatient and renamed the 1st file so that I could copy the 2nd onto the SD without conflict. Everything worked fine. I HAVE ROOT!!! THANKS OP!!!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Captainkrtek:
You just need to overwrite it, but I guess you got it :)

Cheers!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cocoabro:
Well, I used ROM Manager Premium to DL and flash Adrynalyne's 2.0 kernel (2.6.32.21) and now I no longer have root. Is there anything I can do to regain root without going through this entire process again? Thanks.

* Edit: Root Checker says that I do not have the su binary and that Busybox is not installed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] catalyst105:
If I could get any help with my issue it would be greatly appreciated. I don't even know if the drive that I'm seeing on my PC is the SD card at this point. I'm at a total loss. I'm following the directions to the best of my ability, but it seems that maybe the pre reqs to do this is maybe where I'm having a problem. SDK is installed on the PC and psneuter, busybox, exploits zips are in what I think is the SD card by dragging and dropping to the only drive that shows up when I connect my phone via disk drive. Do I need to master pushing files via ADB before I do this? My head is spinning at this point. I just want to get rid of the bloat and utilize one of these cool ROMs that are out. Captain please PM me if you are able to help remotely via chat.andirc. What do I put in the channel box when signing on there by the way?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dkyle:
I'm good now. Got everything to work. I think I just needed some sleep the first time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] WCH_Chip:
I think your computer isn't seeing the SD card. I'm having the same problem. I'm pretty sure the drive you're seeing when you switch to disk drive is the internal memory on the phone.
